The Czech Freedom is 20 years old.No more murders!

*woxys:iconwoxys: reports, November 18
This new article is dedicated to you, people from USA, Great Britain, Australia, Germany... for all of you, who live in democratic countries. It is a story about my home-country, the Czech republic and its fight for freedom and democracy. And I think it can help you to gain some very important and interesting information!

Exactly twenty years ago, the famous Velvet revolution started in the Czech republic and it finally brought freedom and democracy to the country. During the communist rule, there were political murders, violence and other terrible crimes against the humanity. Read the story about 40 years of totalitarian regime and the final fight for freedom!

H1N1 - Questions asked

*SterlingRuinsFall337:iconSterlingRuinsFall337: reports, October 29
We’ve all heard about it by now; the H1N1 virus, or originally called ‘Swine Flu’ and though there are plenty of theories where it came from or how much of a problem it may be, I have done a bit of research over the last few months and have come up with a ‘small’ bite of information that people can read should they become concerned, or just want to know a bit more before they accuse someone of having the virus, or if you yourself think you may…

One Year On in Gaza

*keldbach:iconkeldbach: reports, 7h 34m ago
Today we commemorate the first anniversary of one of the most horrific Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people and against humanity in general. On this day last year, the Zionist entity with all its advanced and sophisticated weapons, paid for by the US and the EU, launched a 23-day “war” on the unarmed and besieged civilian population of the Gaza Strip.

U.S. Condemns Uganda's Anti-Gay Death Penalty

~operaphantom21:iconoperaphantom21: reports, December 23
I'm glad that people are taking a stand against it. People shouldn't be persecuted for any beliefs. Uganda's gay death penalty legislation is unjust. Hitler was wrong to put homosexuals in concentration camps during the Holocaust, and Uganda is wrong to give people the death penalty just for having a different sexual orientation.

Japanese woman caught living in man's closet

~Xephr-Darkwind:iconXephr-Darkwind: reports, June 1, 2008
A homeless woman who sneaked into a man's house and lived undetected in his closet for a year was arrested in Japan after he became suspicious when food mysteriously began disappearing.

Police found the 58-year-old woman Thursday hiding in the top compartment of the man's closet and arrested her for trespassing, police spokesman Hiroki Itakura from southern Kasuya town said Friday.

The resident of the home installed security cameras that transmitted images to his mobile phone after becoming puzzled by food disappearing from his kitchen over the past several months.

One of the cameras captured someone moving inside his home Thursday after he had left, and he called police believing it was a burglar. However, when they arrived they found the door locked and all windows closed.

"We searched the house ... checking everywhere someone could possibly hide," Itakura said. "When we slid open the shelf closet, there she was, nervously curled up on her side."

The woman told police she had no place to live and first sneaked into the man's house about a year ago when he left it unlocked.

She had moved a mattress into the small closet space and even took showers, Itakura said, calling the woman "neat and clean."
